BURNER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed October 7, 1915. Serial No. 54,654.

To all whom t may concern Be it known that I, FRANK W. EVELAND, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Hot Springs, in the county of Garland and State oi Arkansas, have invented certain new and useful lmprovementsin Burners, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to oil burners and is an improvement oi' the burner shown and described in Patent No. 1,099,542 issued to me on June 9, 1914', and consists in certain novel constructions, combinations and arrangements of parts diilering from my patent which will hereinafter be described and claimed.

Among the objects of my invention is to provide an oil burner so constructed that the retort will be automatically cleaned during its operation. l

Another object ot my invention is to provide means whereby any residue vcollected in the vburner when heating up and cooling ofi is automatically eliminated therefrom.

Another object is to provide a burner tip that is self-cleaning.

Still another object is to so locate and limit the reservoirs of the primary generator that generation oi2 gas will start quickly `and effectively.

Other objects will appear in the following detailed description of my device.

In the drawings which constitute a part of the specification, and in which the same reference numerals apply to the same parts thrughoutz-Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved burner, part of one air chamber being shown 1n section. F1g. 2 i's a top plan vlew of my burner. Fig. 3 1s a top -vplan View of the damper mechanism. Fig. 4

is a section on line 4--4 of Fig. 2, and Fi". 5 is a broken horizontal sectional view through the retort portion of my burner.

The practical embodiment of my invention consists of a damper base 1 provided with holes 2 for securing it in position. On base 1 are formed air chambers 3 in the form of' 'frustocones' having circular notches 4 positioned in their upper portions and symmetrically disposed with respect to the lon-v gitudinal axis of said base. The purpose of these'notches will appear hereinafter. Near .later.

each end and in the center of said base are formed holes 5 whose object will appear In the'bottolp portions of said air chambers are dampcrs 6 and 7 mounted onA ods 8 and 9 respectively. Said rods 8 and 9 are turned up to form lever arms as indicated at 10 and 11 respectively. To said lever arms 10 and 11 are journaled links 12 and 13 which links at their other ends are journaled to lever arms 14 and 15 formed on damper rods 16 and 17 respectively. Said damper rods are journaled in bearing clips secured to said base plate at 18, 19, and 20, 21, respectively, and are l'provided at their outer ends with actuating means here shown as members 22 and 23, but it is obvious that other actuating means such as crosses or wheels, may equally well be used.

Supported directly over openings 5 are Ts 24 and 25, and generator pipe 26, all provided with clean out plugs-.which are accessihle through the openings 5 of the base plate 1. The Ts 24 and 25 bear burner arms 27 and 28, respectively, which rest in the notches 4 of the air chambershereinbefore described. Said burner arms bear the burners 29 and 30 and position them centrally over their respective air cones. Generator pipe 2G is directly connected with the central or generating retort 31 (see Fig. 5) and bears the burner 32 and eleanout plug Retort 31 bears the generating reservoirs 34 and 35A positioned'substantially over the generator burner. Said retort 31 is integrally formed and in open communication with the circular burner retorts 36 and 37 which in turn are supported by and are in direct communication with Ts 24 and 25 respectively. Extending upward from circular retort 36 is a quarter turn 38 bearing the baille arm 39 parallel with the longitudinal axis of the base plate. This, bailie arm carries the baille plate 40 adjustably secured thereto as indicated at 41. Central retort 31 is supplied with fuel through pipes 4-2, 43, and 44 provided at their outer ends with needle valves 45, 4G, and 47 respectively, which control theoil supplied through pipe 48 from a tank not shown. Fuel pipe 44 carries a battle-plate 49 centrally located over burner 30 and adjustably secured to said pipe as indicated at 50. The burner tips are all provided with sloping walls 51 as shown in Fig. 4 which tends to, prevent carbon deposit thus insuring clean open burners at all times. 7p

The manner of using my improved 'oil burner is as follows: Oil is supplied to generator burner 32 through supply pipe 42, central retort 31 and generator pipe 26. The heated gases from burnerl 32 quickly Patented June 27, 1916.'
